SHEIKS ON A PLANE: FBI Docs Expose Anatomy of a Cover-Up

Interesting recap of the 'phantom flight' of Saudis from Tampa to Lexington on 9/13/01. The government lied about it for years and then when exposed, they basically said, "Oh THAT flight. No problem. It was legal."

Ex-Marine's Journey From Military Mouthpiece To Al Jazeera Correspondent

A marvelous and insightful half hour interview by Amy Goodman on Democracy Now! with Josh Rushing on his life as a Marine Corps media liaison for 14 years and how he ended up as a journalist for Al Jazeera. Josh comes from a conservative family who believes in serving their country. But he believes in truth and justice more, and he is obviously very intelligent. I love his insights into the military's counterproductive bias against Al Jazeera and his slamming of Fax and NBC for playing along with the military instead of asking real questions (i.e., doing their job). He also laments (as do I) the fact that Americans are not able to watch the world news covered by Al Jazeera.

Alternatives To War

"Show the faces and tell the stories of the children of the ‘enemy’ until we can feel the pain of their deaths as though they were the deaths of our own children. It is much more difficult to slaughter an enemy who one recognises as being part of the human family."
